Dining at Le Rivage has become a family tradition. My MIL would eat there when she lived in NYC decades ago. She returned with her son (my husband) when he was young. Now, in 2025, we took our boys there on their first visit to NYC. The atmosphere is warm and inviting. The food is always wonderful. Highly recommended.
Beautiful food, warm, cozy and charming restaurant. Wonderful atmosphere. Great chef and wonderful/ friendly staff... Perfect venue for a lovely evening out in NYC - great music nightly 🎶❤️
Absolument merveilleux - excellent - Thibaud!!!!!
